Last year we brought you the Great Under-The-Influence
Moments In Rap History, but with the prevalence of drugs
and alcohol in pop culture, moments that make you say,
“he must have been high” never stop. Here are 20 moments from this past year where we think someone was
more than likely under the influence.

<< When Cam’ron Was On 60 Minutes

In what has got to be the most idiotic representation of
Hip Hop on national television, Killa Cam not only embarrassed himself but the entire rap game with his support of “stop snitching” and serial killers on 60 Minutes.
We’ll blame his bonehead comments on purple haze.

When Mr. Collipark signed Soulja Boy

Signing Soulja Boy ended up being the move of a genius, but to hear Soulja Boy’s music and actually see
the vision behind it, Smurf had to be out of his mind.
When Terrell Owens Cried After The Cowboys’
Playoff Loss

Grown men aren’t supposed to cry, and they sure as hell aren’t supposed to cry on national television. T.O. has done some crazy things
during his tenure in the NFL, but when he cried for his quarterback
after Dallas’ loss to the New York Giants in this year’s playoff, we have
assume Owens was on something. Maybe he got it from his teammate,
you know, his quarterback?
<< When G-Unit Clothing Launched

50 Cent and Marc Ecko’s G-Unit clothing line recently
folded, but those two must have been passing a doobie
when they decided to launch G-Unit gear in the first
place. Those G-Unit tank-tops looked more like Gangstalicious bras. At least Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks and Young
Buck won’t be forced to wear that bullshit anymore.
When Gucci Mane Dissed T.I.

Back in July of 2007, Gucci Coochie dropped a diss record called “What
Kind of King (I Smell Pussy)” on the King of the South. He would later
apologize, stating that there was a misunderstanding, where he thought
Tip dissed him on the T.I. vs. T.I.P. album. Stay off of those mushrooms,
Gucci. They make you hallucinate.
When Nas Titled His Album Nigger

No one makes headlines with album titles like God’s Son. But to think
up this title for his new album, Nasir was probably getting high with
Michael Richards when he came up with this one.
Fabo right now

No one was seen or heard much from Fabo lately. He’s probably high as
a muthafucker, right now. Maybe he’s somewhere geeked up, chasing
spaceships around Bankhead.
When Trey Songz Jumped Into The Crowd

If you haven’t seen the video where Trey Songz leaps into the crowd
during a performance, it’s on YouTube. Songz literally tried to superman a hoe. I guess he was so high, he couldn’t help but wait until
after the show.
When Master P Encouraged Hip Hop To Clean Up Its Lyrics

In the wake of attacks on Hip Hop lyrics, Percy Miller vowed to clean up
his music and encouraged other rap artists to do the same. But no one
has listened to P since “Make ‘Em Say Uhh.” Why would anyone start
back paying attention to him now? Nigga, please. What was he smoking?
When Chingy Signed Back To DTP

Ching-a-ling had a good run during his first stint with Disturbing Tha
Peace. But did Luda and Chaka Zulu really think we wanted another Chingy album on DTP? They must have been on that “Blueberry Yum Yum”
to think Hate It or Love It would be more than a new weed plate. Word
to Charlamagne Tha God.
When Whitney Houston Left Bobby Brown

They were high for the duration of their relationship, so we’ll just assume Whitney was high when it ended too. “Crack is wack,” so who’s
going to smoke with her now? (Ray J?)

34 // OZONE MAG

When T.I. Made T.I. vs. T.I.P.

The concept for T.I.’s fifth album was creative, but to actually complete
an album where you battle yourself over 18 tracks is borderline psychotic. Clifford’s not crazy (although, that topic is up for discussion) but
we know what it is. Da Dopeman’s been getting high on his own supply.
Every Time Lupe Fiasco Speaks

Fiascogate was just the beginning. Every time Lupe made a comment
in the media since botching the lyrics to A Tribe Called Quest’s “Electric
Relaxation,” it sounded like a contradiction to the music he makes. In
between dropping dope albums, he must be kick, pushing on skateboards while daydreaming with a pound of that good stuff.
When Shawnna Left DTP

Artists leave their labels all the time, but when DTP’s first lady left Luda
and company for Gucci Mane’s So Icey, we couldn’t help but ask, “Is she
rollin’?” She might be.
When Rick Ross Took Off His Shirt
On Camera >>

Rick Ross is probably high all the rest of
the time too but taking off his shirt on
camera is just wrong. We know you’re trilla,
but don’t do that again, Ross. Please.
When 50 Cent Released Curtis

50’s album had songs with Justin Timberlake, Mary J. Blige, Nicole
Scherzinger and Robin Thicke on it. Yeah, he gets money but to release
an album so commercial, he must get high too. Buck Marley loves to
“puff puff pass,” and maybe Curtis is on the receiving end of that. Put
down the steroids, Vitamin Water and the weed, Fifty. We want a better
album next time.
When Yung Joc Tried To Pass Through Airport Security
With A Loaded Gun

You can’t bring bottled water on an airplane these days, so why was Joc
trying to carry a loaded hand gun on a flight? He must have been high.
Airport security doesn’t care if you’re a G, Joc. It’s not goin’ down.

When T-Pain Commented On Ray J’s “Meat”

T-Pain told sohh.com he wouldn’t have sex with Kim Kardashian, which
is reason enough to believe he was faded. But when he explained he’d
pass up on Kim because he wouldn’t want to go after Ray J, or as Teddy
Pain put it, “the man’s got a huge meat,” that’s where we draw the line.
Please say you were high. Don’t tell us those comments came from a
sober mind.
<< WhenEVER Aaron McGruder
Writes A Boondocks Episode

With the storylines, controversial topics
and out-of-line dialogue on each episode
of Aaron McGruder’s hit cartoon series The
Boondocks, this cartoonist has got to be on
cloud nine to come up with this stuff.
When Amy Winehouse Finally Went To Rehab
